Hi I´m new to the Hermes forum. I´ve gone through current price list but could not find any info on prices for Kelly Danse.

I was wondering which is biggest, the Kelly Pochette or Kelly Danse? Does anyone know the price for these bags? What colours and material are they available in? I´d love to have a Hermes croc or alligator bag.
 
i think the danse is bigger and it has double functionality
if you want it as a shoulder bag it has a strap
and if you want a clutch you can just put the strap in the bag

just my 2 cents
 
KPs for sure come in exotic skins - ostrich might be harder to come by than croc or lizard.

I have seen Danses in croc before, but only once or twice and never in person. I think exotics are more difficult to come by in this style.

That being said, which bag is better depends on your use of the bag. The Danse IMO looks really weird as an evening bag, but I think the KP is perfect. For casual day outings, I think the Danse will be a good choice since there is a strap.
 
different skin, different prices - I was direct to these places to search.

.. search the master thread for H shopping .. then

Reference: Hermès Current Prices and
Sticky: Inventory update - What have you seen, and where?

they (mods and threads) were very helpful, GL
 
^ Hi Nahreen!

I own a Danse which I use a lot for shopping and casual days out. When I want to look a little bit more dressy but not carry a formal clutch, I use my Danse. The larger clutch look is really nice as large clutches are 'in'! Personally, I like the way it looks as a clutch and don't find it difficult to hold or tuck under my arm if I need my hands to be free. I think it depends on your height as well because the Danse is taller in shape and thus I personally think you need to be taller for it to look more proportionate? I use my Danse as a crossbody bag as well by attaching the removable straps and I like it that way too. It definitely holds a lot more than a Kelly Pochette. Very under the radar too and something you don't see many people carrying. (Attached the pic that made me lust for a Danse.... How chic does this lady look!)

The Kelly Pochette is definitely a classic H clutch and great because it has a handle. Looks very dainty and cute and perfect for more formal events as well as a dressy day look! I think it's one of the most popular H clutches around!

Either way, I think both bags are great! :D And both bags come in Croc. I think it might be a little more difficult getting a croc Danse just because it's not as popular and so less are made? Then again, it'll depend on where you are and the demand and supply issue. GOOD LUCK!

Thank you fashionistaO, peggioka and juicyagogo. I saw a Kelly Danse in the Hermes store in Stockholm, there was no Kelly Pochette there. It was possible to order a Kelly Danse and they thought it would take about a year to get one if I order in January. I´m coming to USA on Thursday and I´m going to NYC, then LA and last Las Vegas so I´ll look around the stores just to see what other models look like if they have any. I´d love to have croc or alligator but I think they are too pricy for me.
